If talks are held with Pak it will now be on PoK, says Rajnath Singh

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said that if talks are held with Pakistan, it will only be on Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK). The Defence Minister made this statement in Panchkula, where he flagged off party's 'Jan Ashirwad Yatra' in the presence of Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. 

Speaking on Article 370 and attempts made by Pakistan to internationalise the issue, Rajnath Singh said, "Article 370 was abrogated in Jammu and Kashmir for its development. Our neighbour is knocking doors of the international community saying India made a mistake. Talks with Pakistan will be held only if it stops supporting terror. If talks are held with Pak it will now be on PoK."

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also said, "Few days ago, prime minister of Pakistan said that India is planning to take an action bigger than Balakot. It means that Pakistan PM acknowledges what India did in Balakot."
